File My Taxes For Free? - OK What's The Catch?
1. You must live in one of the following states: AL, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, UT, VA, or WV
2. Your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) must be $54,000 or less.
If you do not live in one of the 32 states above and/or you have an AGI of more than $54,000, you can still file your taxes here. The federal tax return will cost you $9.95 however.
2008 Economic Stimulus Payment Eligibility
To Receive The Economic Stimulus Payment In May You Must File A Tax Return!
Even if you did not make enough to file a tax return or if you are not legally required to file a tax return, you must file a federal tax return with the IRS. This mostly refers to retirees, low wage workers, and disabled veterans.Over 130 million American homes will receive payments as part of President Bush's program to jumpstart the economy.
To be eligible you need to have:
1. A valid Social Security number
2. $3,000 of income in 2007
3. A federal tax return filed by Midnight, April 15, 2008
Eligible Americans will receive up to $600 a person or $1200 a married couple. Persons with children receive $300 per child under the age of 17.
You definitely will not get a stimulus payment if any of the following apply to you:
* You don't file a 2007 tax return.
* Your net income tax liability is zero and your qualifying income is less than $3,000. To determine your qualifying income, add together your wages, net self-employment income, nontaxable combat pay, Social Security benefits, certain Railroad Retirement benefits and certain veterans' payments.
* You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. For example, this would include a child or student who can be claimed on a parent's return.
* You do not have a valid Social Security Number.
* You are a nonresident alien.
* You file Form 1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040PR or Form 1040SS for 2007.

Husband a nut about filing taxes early. Usually I hit the button and the software prints out the docs and I gloat about being computerized. This year I didn't stay on top of my entries and spend a week of entering stuff into software. Now my husband is gloating.

I admit it. I filed back in January. I know, I'm a big dork. But you know what, I have my refund in hand. :-P

I'm going to wait until April 14th!

Started? Yes. Filed? No!
I won't wait until 4/14, but I have waited until the last week to do it.
As much as I love running my own business, I hate accounting and taxes, but we all know it's something that has to be done.
But, there's no reason to rush into it!
(silly, lopsided grin)
It's time to pull out my "I hate the IRS" button and wear it until I get my taxes filed.
All the best,
JD

Ha! I have 20 whole days left! I'm married to my tax man, though, and he's beginning to gently prod me to gather my business information. Something about keeping records that I just don't like. (Insert big sigh here.)

I doubt I'll wait until 4/14 to file but I would not be surprised if I file on 4/13.

Hi pyngthyngs. I saw a link to this lens on our Squidoo Marketing Community site and had to come take a look. Interestingly enough, I'm going offline for the next couple of days to complete my accounting and file my taxes. Then I can come back to cyberland and play with my friends. Sigh. Great information here. Act on your dream! JD Posted April 08, 2008 |

I know, you're just the messenger, but I'd certainly rather we had the FairTax in place. That I could deal with! Posted March 25, 2008 |
